Caring for Our Vintage Hand-Painted Glass Buttons
One of our favourite corners of The Button Dept. is the collection of unique glass buttons, everything from clear vintage-inspired styles to tiny hand-painted florals. These delicate pieces are like little works of art that add something truly special to any project.
We especially love using the hand-painted ones, but we know they’re fragile. We wanted to better understand how they hold up when exposed to water and gentle detergent.

Welcome to The Button Dept.
Back in 2013, I was lucky enough to be offered the opportunity to purchase about thirty large boxes of vintage buttons from my friend, Paul at Smash Salvage. After peeking into just a few of the boxes, I knew this was a once in a lifetime opportunity to be able to share an endless supply of amazing vintage buttons with our community. The Button Dept. was born.
